TOY FAIR 2017
LEGO
Kids can play out real-life scenarios with Lego’s Duplo My Town, a recognizable world with three modern Duplo figures. Toddlers can practice activities and routines with the easy-to-build house, such as getting up in the morning, preparing and eating a meal, and washing the car. The set is designed for kids ages 2 to 5.
JAKKS PACIFIC
Jakks Pacific expands its line of toys for Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, an animated program for preschoolers ages 2 to 4 that builds on the pioneering PBS series, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. With the Musical Instrument Set, kids can make their own music and enhance their creativity and rhythm skills. The set includes a drum, two drumsticks, two maracas, a trumpet, and a tambourine. Kids can sing and record their favorite Daniel Tiger songs with Sing Along with Daniel Tiger, a karaoke machine in the shape of Daniel Tiger’s head. It includes four full-length Daniel Tiger songs that kids can sing along to with the working microphone. Created in a portable new size, the Potty Time Daniel Tiger figure stands 7 inches tall and comes with a potty featuring flushing sounds, songs, and a working lid. The set also includes a spinning toilet paper roll and hand soap. Daniel Tiger’s sweater and shoes are removable for added dress-up play. The 12-inch Daniel Tiger Feature Plush gets an update with new phrases and songs, including “Grown Ups Come Back,” “Happy Song,” “Turn It Around,” “When You Wait,” and “When You Get So Mad.” Designed for kids ages 2 and up, the plush will be available in the fall. The new 10-inch Baby Margaret Feature Plush is available exclusively at Target. Baby Margaret is wearing a toddler dress with a pink sweater and has a flower in her hair. She comes with her favorite stuffy, Pandy, and says baby sounds like “Dan Dan,” “Hi Hi,” and “Night night.” Jakks Pacific expands its role play and doll line for Elena of Avalor, a TV series on the Disney Channel that focuses on Disney’s first Latina princess, Elena. With the Elena Royal Palace Tea & Chocolate Set, kids can immerse themselves in Elena’s world and pretend to dine on Avaloran chocolates. The set features a teapot with a lid and four cups, plates, spoons, and chocolate pieces. Kids can pretend to defend all of Avalor with the Elena Action Adventure Sword. Complete with motion-activated lights, phrases, and sounds, kids can bring out their inner Elena with the moves they make. Kids can extend the roleplay fun with the Elena Crown Princess Ponytail Set. This long, flowing ponytail features Elena’s iconic long brown hair and comes with a hairbrush. The Elena Lights of Enchantment Jewelry Box is adorned with Jaquins, the enchanted protectors of Avalor. Kids can press the red button to watch the jewel light up and hear the jewelry box play the song “My Time” from the show. It also includes clip-on earrings and a ring. The Elena of Avalor Action & Adventure Feature Doll features two ways to play. Kids can place her sword in her hand for a swinging action, or place her skirt loops in her hand to let her dance and sing “My Time” from the show. The doll plays three songs and says more than 20 phrases. Daniel Tiger Musical Instrument Set
